As a public service, we occasionally feel obligated to translate some of the crap found in the media. In this case, we find ourselves translating a Rachel Maddow interview in the NY Daily News.
“During the election last year, Maddow established herself as one of the big three at MSNBC, which had its best run ever, with her show following Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.” (Translation: Her initial ratings were through the roof, but they are sinking faster than the Titanic.)
“But she was a charter host on Air America in March 2004, so she and the radio network have now figured out a way to give her an ongoing presence there.” (Translation: Maddow dumped Air America because low-rated television hosts make a lot more money than low-rated radio hosts.)
“She also notes that she and her MSNBC colleagues ‘don’t exactly march in lockstep. Sometimes when we’re doing a panel, we have no agreement at all.’” (Translation: Some of them are Stalinists while others are Maoists.)
We feel like one of those guys at the UN with the earphones and microphone who instantaneously translate speeches from Urdu to Tagalog. Except that translating Liberal is a lot tougher.

You forgot to translate the cover of the Advocate.
Rachel Maddow is the smartest person on TV [tranlation: Rachel Maddow is the lesbianest of all lesbians currently on TV]
What’s my paperboy doing on the cover of Advocate magazine?
Kevin, I don’t care if she is a lesbian. Who cares? (well, if they are hot, I care, but in a different way
) I care that she one one huge, hateful idiot.
Is there anyone in all entertainment/TV/media less appealing than she? Other than her weird dykish demeanor, permanent sneer, and unfunny unclever attempts at being funny and clever, she’s a good partner for another incredible no-talent guy Keith Slobberman.
Rachel Ray and Rachel Maddow, two Cable Tv idiots–both shrill, witless and greedy.
My long lost brother!
You guys are funny!
I agree the cover true translastion that she is the lesbianist lesbian on cable tv and therefore that makes her great. She is NOT the smartest person on tv whatsoever.
